Howto get out that a Table requires Scrollbars to display all items? [message #452161]

Hi,

I am using Snippet77 (resize columns as table resizes) in order to
dynamically change the Columns of a
Table as it resizes. I am adding TableItems from a Background Thread and
as soon as a vertical Scrollbar
is required to display all items I would like to resize the columns
automatically (since now the
available vertical space was reduced by the width of the Scrollbar and a
Horizontal Scrollbar is appearing).

So, is there any Event or other way to get out that the Table is now
showing a Scrollbar? I know that
it may work by calculating the max. number of items the Table is able to
show with its current size,
but I am hoping that there maybe an easier solution?

Ben

Ben,

There isn't an event fired when a scrollbar is shown/hidden, and I can't
find an easier approach than asking the Table for getClientArea() after each
item creation and detecting a width reduction.

When a scroll bar is shown or hidden, the table should get SWT.Resize.
Please enter a bug report if this is not happening for you.
